British Journal of Political Science (BJPS) Dataverse Replication materials: "Less Human Than Human: Threat, Language, and Relative Dehumanization," by Shane P. Singh and Jaroslav Tir

Below is a description of the data and analysis files, as well as step-by-step instructions for the replication of the content of all figures and associated discussion in the article and Supplementary Material.


********************************************
***********COMPUTE ENVIRONMENT**************
********************************************
Operating system:						Mac OS X Big Sur (3.8 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i7; 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4)
Statistical software versions					Stata/MP 17.0 for Mac (Intel 64-bit) (Revision 16 May 2023)
Estimated run time for all data creation and analyses		20 minutesPackage used in analysis						COEFPLOT (http://repec.sowi.unibe.ch/stata/coefplot/getting-started.html) 
								


********************************************
**********REPLICATING THE ANALYSIS**********
********************************************

************
**Necessary Files
************
Singh_Tir_Dehumanization_Replication_Analysis.dta			Dataset used in the analyses in the main text and the Supplementary Material
Singh_Tir_Dehumanization_Replication_Balance.dta			Dataset used in the balance tests in the Supplementary Material, which are not restricted to observations with full covariate profiles
Singh_Tir_Dehumanization_Replication.do				Contains code for reproducing the analyses in the main text and the Supplementary Material

************
**Instructions and Further Description
************
1. Set your working directory in Stata to the folder in which you stored all of the Necessary Files listed above.

2. Open and run “Singh_Tir_Dehumanization_Replication.do”. This file will open “Singh_Tir_Dehumanization_Replication_Analysis.dta” and Singh_Tir_Dehumanization_Replication_Balance.dta. The code will create all figures in the main and the tables and figures in the Supplementary Material. It also provides code for analyses behind claims made in the text.
